Interesting premise but ultimately falls flat. It could've been a lot better if they had just focused on the terrorist plot. I didn't really buy the whole romance subplot regarding Jessica Biel and Nicolas Cage's characters, mainly because they both lacked chemistry. The last thirty minutes of the movie was somewhat unnecessary so I didn't really pay attention nor did I care what would happen. I just stared at Cage's hair and amused myself about how crazy and messy it was (like the movie). Julianne Moore did a nice job as an agent but her character was also one-dimensional. Try to avoid this movie unless you're really bored. Like I said, it has an interesting idea but the execution was not done well.
